Personally, using a dark theme allows me to comfortably write my long research assignments for school, especially at night. With the most recent Canary update, Google seems comfortable enough to allow users to test it again. We knew it was still on Google's radar, but we weren't sure when it would come back.

Google promptly pulled the flag out in a hotfix update, and it was not seen again. You were forced to powerwash your device, which erases everything stored on your Chromebook. Even worse, the Chrome flags, file manager, and Chrome OS settings page failed to load, meaning you couldn't revert the flag to default and access your files. Although this flag was working great on Windows, Android, and macOS, enabling it on Chrome OS caused webpages to crash. Some of you might remember that Google had attempted to bring it to Chrome OS in the past, but an unfortunate situation forced a long delay before its release.Ī little over a year ago, Google introduced chrome://flags/#force-dark-mode in Chrome 78, which forces web content to use a dark theme on all platforms. If this happens, you may prefer another extension that uses custom CSS to set the default background and text color of web pages.It's been about 6 months since Microsoft unveiled a full dark theme for Windows, and Apple's macOS got the feature a couple of years ago with Mojave.

Warning: because of the way this extension inverts the luminance of rendered pages, it may cause noticeable slowdowns for some users. Similar to the "High Contrast" or "Hacker Vision" extensions, but tries not to ruin images by blowing out the contrast or changing the colors. Invert the brightness of the web without changing the colors! Useful as a night mode to darken most bright web sites (like Google), or just for making the web soothing black instead of glaring white. * Correctly display "unknown" image types in "Keep Images Normal" mode * Fix another blinking scrollbar issue affecting Windows 8+ users at different zoom levels. * Mostly fix issues introduced by recent Chrome updates Invert the luminance of a website to make it easier on the eyes.
